Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Adoption Fee: 200.00. Meet me Saturday 9/5 at the Pleasanton Farmer's Market, in Delucchi Park, from 9 am - 1 pm! (4501 First Street, Pleasanton). This boy is one in a million; everyone says so! Having only three legs hasn't made a difference in Trike's excited-to-be-with-you-or-learning-a-new-trick attitude. He walks along side on a leash like a pro and LOVES snuggling up on command. Trike is showing signs of being fully house trained, is crate trained and sleeps through the night, climbs stairs like it's child's play, sits for a treat, looks adoringly at whomever will give him attention and growls/barks only at big sounds or unexpected reflections (of himself). He listens to "no" and responds quickly and appropriately. He's a true treasure and all around "good boy." This dog arrived at VHS with a severe injury to his left hind leg. To treat his wounds and relieve his pain, it was necessary to amputate his left hind leg. He has recovered and healed from the surgery very well. He has skin sutures which should be removed between 9/4/26-9/8/26. Once the surgery site has completely healed, he is expected to be pain-free and no further treatment for his wounds is anticipated. Three-legged dogs have an excellent quality of life. They can be extremely active and he is expected to have a normal life-span for a dog. Keeping him at a healthy weight is especially important to avoid putting additional strain on his remaining hind leg. Trike was transferred to Valley Humane on 8/20 from Stockton Animal Services. He weighs 24 pounds and is a young adult dog (estimated to be aged between 1 and 4 years old). Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
